It’s oh so quiet

I expect Mama.ie will be quiet for the next few days. It has been an exhausting month – work has been hectic, our family health has taken a battering from this never-ending ‘flu, and we’ve had very little quality time together. (I don’t think plonking Little Man in front of the TV watching Peppa Pig or Ben and Holly while I cough myself hoarse on the couch beside him really counts!)

So now that we’re all on the mend, and we have a few days off work for Christmas, we’re making the most of it. Which is probably why I found myself mixing cookie dough with Little Man at 7.15am today! Seems all the Christmas baking this week has piqued his interest, so much so that when I asked him what he’d like to do for the day today “make cookies” was his excited response. 🙂

Still I didn’t want tonight to pass unmarked. As always at this time of year, I’ve taken a few moments today to think of Christmases past and remember past losses and all those who aren’t with us to celebrate this year. To those of you who are missing loved ones this Christmas, my thoughts are with you.

To all my readers, I hope you have a peaceful and joyful Christmas.
